Since the netatalk afp server runs as a UNIX process under the
identity of the user, it should work (without any configuration) if
the UNIX spool system does per user accounting. This depends on your
spool system and not on netatalk. I know, that the plp (public line
printer) software does support accounting, but the spool system
backends do have to support it.

I don't know, hos this can be done. The users always can copy the
files on their local disk and after cpying them, they are not busy
anymore, on the server.
